My wife has hair that reaches to about the middle of her back, maybe 6 inches above her waistline.
She has always had orange-red hair, it is slowly going white now.
In 37 years she has had it 'permed' twice, the last time was in 2001 [the year I retired]. So 18 years ago. We had a tenant who was in beauty school and they needed a test subject. Two students worked on her hair all day long.
Normally I trim the split ends once a year for her.
Otherwise it is not terribly high maintenance for her.
I look horrible with short hair and will never cut my hair short again. It's totally grey and natural now, but I used to highlight it when I was younger. Now, I'm perfectly happy with the way it is. I don't use any special shampoo for white/grey hair. I don't think my grey hair looks frizzy, but maybe others will. I'm 65.

You still have nice beautiful hair. Grey is the new color now.
I actually joked with one of the kids in my art class that I paid money to not look grey like her. I guess grey is the new fashionable color now among the 20 something.

I disagree. It depends on the cut and style. My husband is my biggest fan and he always loved my hair when I wore it long, now he likes the short cut. I have green eyes and my husband said it really makes my eyes stand out.
I tried to find a cut like mine, I wear mine short like Jamie Lee Curtis Except mine has never been as short as hers. I think mine is a lot like like the 1st picture, even the color is about the same.
And FYI, at some point we are old women. Nothing you can do will change that, I accepted it long ago.
Exactly, everything stands out. I just have to wear make up more often. But I normally have chin to shoulder hair length and one day my hair cutter did a short and sexy hair style and I got so many wonderful comments. But the problem is the guy couldn’t repeat the same cut. So I left him. My husband prefers short hair, his first love has short blond hair, with a sexy British accent to boot.
Too bad that more women can't get creative and go somewhere in between gray/platinum blonde or dark brunette/black - there is truly a range of softer and warmer colors that could look a lot more natural.
I don't think it's about creativity, it's about having lives that are now so full, who has time to bother with it? Grey is great! A wider part = a wider heart! Going au natural isn't just for skinny dipping!

Here’s my thinking. I find as we get older, we might not have the ability to get to the salon for a proper cut and style, whatever it is. So we get masculine looking longer buzz cuts, because they are quick and easy. Or we let our hair get straggly long.l because we no longer have the energy to go. I’ve seen both and there is an unkemptness to each.
I do not have it in me to hit my normal salon right now. I might go somewhere closer and faster. I might just not get my hair cut and cut my bangs myself. Pretty easy to do.
But when women harp about another woman’s hair? That’s their own insecurity peeking through.

Don’t remind us about the skinning dipping part. That was my favorite moment on vacation. It was in a jungle surrounding by lots of monkeys.
